Hello,

Thanks again, yes, please do close this.  The MGA drivers have always 
been a problem under Linux (Suse and Ubuntu since 8.10 at least) and so 
to simplify things I use the Vesa driver, my multimedia demands being 
limited. With the live-CD from 10.04 I would get a blank screen and then 
used -xforcevesa so I could install. I should probably replace the MGA 
graphic card anyway, their Linux support doesn't appear to be all that good.
Chris
